Dress knitted top bottom tulle. Elegant tulle dress for girls

A snowflake or princess dress will be combined of two parts: a crocheted yoke and a tulle skirt. At the first stage of knitting, it is necessary to calculate the number of loops for the yoke. This is the most difficult thing, and then go according to your idea, how you see a New Year's dress crocheted with tulle for a girl.

First, we come up with an image. Its basis will be the flirtation scheme. I decided to choose a simpler option - a classic square yoke with raglan sleeves with sirloin knitting. See the diagram below.

Yarn selection

Now we choose the yarn and the crochet hook for the New Year's dress. The chosen hook and yarn determines how many loops will need to be typed for the collar and how many rows to knit, as well as the knitting density. For example, if you take a crochet hook that is too thin, the knitting fabric will be dense and tough. This is unlikely to please the delicate baby skin.

I chose YarnART Violet light turquoise yarn. The hook is 1.5 mm.

Calculation of the yoke

Now you need to take measurements. It is necessary to measure the circumference of the neck and chest. Next, I will describe the scheme of how I knitted for my daughter Alice (3 g 4 months, height 95 cm). She got parameters:

  • Neck circumference (Obsh) = 25 cm,
  • Chest circumference (OG) = 52 cm.

Calculate the knitting density. To do this, tie the square with double crochets, and determine the number of loops in a multiple of centimeters. I have 9 PRS about 2 cm. (PRS - double crochet)

I decided to make the neck of the yoke at 37-38 cm so that it was free on the neck. This is approximately 37 cm x 9 prs / 2 cm = 166.5 sts. But this is not a finite number.

We divide the resulting 166.5 loops by 3, we get 55.5 loops for each part of the yoke knitting:

  • 1/3 on the chest,
  • 1/3 on the back, 1/6 on each shelf,
  • 1/3 on both sleeves, i.e. 1/6 per sleeve.

Now we estimate how many loops will go where, given that according to the rapport of the crocheted dress scheme I have chosen, it is necessary that each part of the yoke has an odd number of loops. I ended up with the following:

  • on the chest - 55 loops
  • on the shelves of the back, 27 loops each
  • on the shelves of the sleeves, 27 loops each.

In total, you need to dial 55 + 27x2 + 27x2 = 163 loops plus 3 lifting loops.

Yoke knitting process

The length of the raglan is limited by the shoulders of the child. I stopped knitting when the width of the chest part became 19 cm. After that, I no longer knitted the sleeves, but only knitted 6 rows of the back and chest shelves. Thus, I increased the height of the armholes sufficiently.

After that, I calculated how many loops are needed for the girth of the chest. To do this, consider the OG (chest girth) = 52 cm and add a margin of 3 cm so that the dress is not sticky. It turns out that the girth of the dress = 55 cm. This size corresponds to 55x9 / 2 = 247 loops.

Calculate the total amount of stitches on the back and chest shelves that are already tied. I got 197 loops.

We consider: 247-197 = 50 loops - this number of loops is not enough to close the yoke in a circle. Divide the number in half. We get 25 air loops, you need to get under each armhole in order to continue knitting the dress.

Tie the required yoke height. At me it ends under the bust, and then the tulle skirt will go.

Tulle skirt

Now you need to make a tulle skirt. There are several options:

  • sew tulle directly to a knitted yoke;
  • fasten the tulle to the arches from the VP on the yoke;
  • fasten tulle to an elastic band and sew to a yoke;
  • fasten the tulle to the elastic band for the headbands and sew on.

I chose the latter option. So tulle can be placed in several layers. I made the top one blue, and the bottom one white. It turned out very airy and snowy.

Then just sew this skirt to the yoke and you get a dress.

Sew a zipper or button on the back of the dress.

Crochet Christmas dress with tulle for girls

Childhood is a time of miracles and magic, where every baby is a fairy princess. And an elegant tulle dress for a girl is the best solution for any celebration. In it, the young beauty will feel irresistible.

Features and advantages of the material

Tulle is a lightweight fabric made of nylon threads, which is a mesh. Due to its specific texture, this material holds its shape well. A translucent tulle veil is most often used to decorate fancy skirts or dresses.

The rigidity of tulle depends on the density of the weave of the threads. The lightest and softest material is used for clothing.

The main advantage of the fabric is its practicality. Tulle does not wrinkle and does not get dirty, thanks to the mesh structure. But if several layers of material are used for clothes, it does not allow air to pass through well. Therefore, this dress is contraindicated for frequent and prolonged wear.

Beautiful styles

Tulle dresses, as a rule, are lush with a wide skirt. The material holds its shape perfectly and creates beautiful waves and frills. The most popular style of dresses for girls is with a tutu skirt and A-line.

Most often, tulle is combined with satin or other elegant material. It can be used as a petticoat so that the lace edge looks out from under the upper layers.

On Empire-style dresses, tulle is used as an overskirt. It not only creates additional volume, but also effectively decorates the hem, giving an airy gracefulness to the outfit.

Actual colors

Due to its mesh structure, tulle does not have bright shades. You can enrich the color of the fabric with a bright lining and colored inserts, or by using multiple layers of material.

The most popular colors of elegant dresses for girls are delicate white, pink and blue. To emphasize the solemn look, tulle is used with sparkles, rhinestones and dusting in the form of sparks, stars or hearts.

Girls who prefer to stand out from the crowd will appreciate the tulle dress in black, dark cherry or purple shades.

Contrasting trim looks spectacular and festive. Satin of any bright color - red, lilac, blue - is relevant on a white tulle dress. This can be a belt, bodice, decorative inserts or lacing on the back.

Length

For solemn and calm occasions, a long tulle dress is ideal. It looks smart and chic, but it is inconvenient to move in it. To prevent the baby from stepping on the long front edge of the skirt, you can choose a style with an asymmetrical skirt.

What to wear with

For a festive dress, you will need no less elegant shoes and accessories. In order to correctly complete the image, they should be thought over and selected in advance.

Hats or headbands with a veil made of hard tulle will be a harmonious addition, due to the relationship of materials. The same applies to thin openwork gloves.

Any jewelry and accessories should be selected taking into account the girl's age. The outfit should bring pleasure, not discomfort. It is better to refuse from bulky and interfering parts.

Elegant and light shoes to match the dress should be comfortable and firmly fixed on the leg. Otherwise, Cinderella may lose her shoe at the most inopportune moment.

Elegant images

1) A sunny and fluffy dress made of elastic tulle fabric with dropped shoulders - ideal for a fun summer holiday. It is light and elastic, which means that the girl will not get confused in it, even with active movements. A satin belt under the breast and a yellow flower on a hairpin in the hair fit very harmoniously into the image.

2) The popular model of a dress with a tutu skirt and a satin top will appeal to the princess at any age. The fluffy skirt is trimmed with ruffles and satin inserts, and the belt is decorated with a large bow to match it. A real lilac dream for a little fashionista. An openwork headband with a tulle flower will be a worthy completion of the look.

3) An original dress with a train and sequin decor will effectively distinguish its owner from many other fashionistas. Milky fabric is correctly set off by a belt and a brooch on the shoulder made of golden satin. And to complement the royal look, the hair is adorned with a laconic and graceful diadem.

4) White tulle dress with a fluffy midi-length skirt does not look boring and beaten. All thanks to the original floristic decoration. There is a bright scarlet rose on the belt, and petals of all possible shades are lost in the upper skirt. A pair of white closed pumps is the simplest way to add a little kick to the look.

5) A chic long bright purple dress with a knitted bodice looks airy and light. This effect is created by thin strips of tulle from which the skirt is made. For originality and contrast, a light-colored flower brooch is attached to the chest. The dress remains sleek and lightweight thanks to the wide shoulder straps and straight neckline.

Girls adore dresses with fluffy skirts, because in such outfits they seem to themselves like fairy princesses. Therefore, tulle dresses for girls are very popular. You can buy such a dress, or you can make it yourself, even without having sewing skills.

Tulle is a thin fabric that resembles a cobweb. But at the same time, it is a very durable material, it is practically impossible to break it by hand. Essentially, tulle is a mesh made from nylon threads.

Depending on the size of the mesh cells, materials of different degrees of rigidity are distinguished. The material is soft, then long flowing skirts are sewn from it. And from a tougher variety of material, you can make a tutu skirt.

Tulle is available in different colors, in addition, it can be decorated with sequins, dusting, prints.

When planning to purchase or sew a dress for a girl with a tulle skirt, be sure to pay attention to the quality of the material. The fabric produced in the European Union is ideal for children's clothing. It does not wrinkle and is soft enough, so it is comfortable to wear.


But the Chinese-made tulle is tougher. In addition, Chinese tulle does not meet fire safety requirements. When exposed to open fire, it bursts into flame. And eurofatin, thanks to the use of special technologies, begins to smolder when hit by fire.

When choosing a material, pay attention to the width of the fabric. For sewing a regular skirt, you should choose a fabric with a width of 1.5-3 meters, but if you plan to make a tutu skirt, then it is more profitable to take a narrow tulle sold in rolls, then the strips will not have to be cut in width.

How to make a tutu skirt?

Almost all fluffy tulle dresses for children have a tutu skirt, it is also called a "tutu". This is a multi-layer lush model, consisting of several (at least ten) layers of fabric.

Even those mothers who do not know how to sew can easily make a children's skirt here with their own hands. You will need rolled tulle 10-15 cm wide, and a wide elastic band for the belt.

You can take one-color tulle or buy several rolls of different colors, then the skirt will turn out to be colorful. Operating procedure:

  • measure the girl's waist and cut the elastic for the belt of the desired length. This is a very important point, the belt should not be tight, but too loose it will be uncomfortable;
  • using a centimeter, we determine the length of our future skirt, we determine it at will, but short skirts look better;
  • cut the rolled tulle into strips, the length of which is twice the desired length of the skirt;
  • we begin to tie the strips of tulle to the elastic of the belt, folding the strips of fabric in half. The tighter the stripes are, the more magnificent the skirt will turn out. When making a variegated model, you need to alternate strips of tulle of different shades, achieving the desired pattern;
  • after the elastic belt is completely covered with tulle ribbons, the skirt is ready;
  • if desired, you can additionally decorate the skirt using bows, satin ribbons, artificial flowers, etc.


What to wear with?
